Blog 3- Social Penetration Theory

In this blog I am going to go in depth in the theory of Social Penetration. This is a theory about how we get to know others and how we develop relationship with others with  mutual gratification. For an example, If I get in a conversation with a complete stranger I am going to find out the most similarities that me and that person has to decline the self-disclosure between us. I remember one time I was standing in line at Walmart and I saw this girl with a Versace handbag, We hit it off automatically because our whole conversion was about designer brands and we both had similarities in the likes of the fashion world. We continue to build a relationship but as her friend and her trusting me I continue to learn more things about her that I wouldn't think that she has been associated with. But as a true friend I was  glad she open up to me more instead of hiding things from me, It actually improve our friendship, But If she would told me those things before I probably would have ended our friendship. Another example of  Social Penetration is in the movie 21 jump street, There is a phone call that takes place between Morton and Molly. In the conversation there will be three  phases of Social Penetration shown, superficial, intimate, personal, and the core.  








Here is a Video below that shows a example of  Social Penetration in the movie 21 Jump Street

 

Blog 2- Expectancy Violation

In this blog I am going to go in depth in Expectancy Violation communication theory.  Expectancy Violations can help or hinder communication. For example, someone with higher power over you such as your boss, you would not expect your boss to invade your personal space, curse you out or even act like they are a worker. That is not a norm, Naturally a boss or manager sets a standard of power division, For example your at a job interview, and the interviewer starts to invade your personal space and ask you personal questions? How do you react? most people do not how would they react because that is not a norm of behavior of a interviewer. Another example of  Expectancy Violation is in the movie Bad Grandpa, there is a scene were the little boy is enter into a  pageant for little girls. Not only that, but the little boy starts stripping of his clothes as if he was at a strip club and the Grandpa starts throwing money on the little boy at the pageant as if he were at a stripper. Behavior like that is not expected at an pageant, even worse that the behavior was at a little kids pageant.      


Below is a example of  Expectancy Violation communication theory in the movie  Bad Grandpa

Blog 1- Pop Song about Communication

Drake right now is the biggest pop star out in this generation, fans from all over believe that Drake can communicate with any one in any type of relationship, from brake ups and  make ups,. My favorite song about communication in pop culture is hotline bling by Drake which was release in 2015.  One it's a very catchy song and it makes you want to get up in do a little 3 step dance or two. But the song is mainly about how Drake can't get that everything doesn't involves around him. His significant other stop calling him at midnight after he moves away, which makes Drake feel unwanted. He did taunts her on not being a good girl anymore and claims she just like every other female because she starts to go out more and wear eye attention clothing. Maybe if Drake would have communicated more with his significant other he wouldn't have to play the whole "your a different person" "you changing on me role". Communication is key to any type of relationship, in which Drake was lacking in

One of the most crazy days during Thanksgiving week is back and ready in full action Black Friday! People go crazy for amazing low price deals and stand in days long lines just to get deals on pricey items such as HD TVS, i Pads, game consoles and etc. Last year  during Black Friday  i purchased  a pair of Balmain Jeans online   for $300 in which  they cost around $550-$2000. This Black Friday I hope I can find some good deals online because I am not about the stand in long lines life lol.
But if you are thinking about going to stores to do your shopping I suggest  you start to plan now because it is going to be crazy good deals this year.
